The physical condition of Louisiana Oil and Gas Association President Don Briggs slowly continues to improve, and he has been moved from an Asheville, North Carolina medical facility to his hometown of Lafayette for further treatment while he is recovering.

As you will recall, Mr. Briggs sustained a serious head injury after slipping in the stairway at a home in North Carolina.

Meanwhile, the LOGA Board of Directors executive committee has named its Vice President Gifford Briggs acting president of the organization pending Mr. Don Briggs’ return.

The family is very grateful for the outpouring of well wishes and prayers and continues to appreciate your consideration of their privacy at this time.

LOGA will provide additional updates on his condition as they become available.

The Louisiana Oil & Gas Association (known before 2006 as LIOGA) was organized in 1992 to represent the Independent and service sectors of the oil and gas industry in Louisiana; this representation includes exploration, production and oilfield services. Our primary goal is to provide our industry with a working environment that will enhance the industry. LOGA services its membership by creating incentives for Louisiana’s oil & gas industry, warding off tax increases, changing existing burdensome regulations, and educating the public and government of the importance of the oil and gas industry in the state of Louisiana.
